Move-In Fall 2019

---

 

Getting Ready:

We are excited to begin the 2019-2020 academic year and look forward to your arrival in August!  Getting prepared for the move to your new home away from home can be overwhelming.  Please read through the tips and hints on this page for what to pack and what to leave behind.

We could never list all the items you might need, but this will help you get started.  Also, remember that many items can be shared, so be sure to communicate with your roommate(s) prior to packing.

As you are packing, please remember to label your items with your last name, residence hall, and room number.  Volunteer move in helpers will be available and the labels will help get your belongings to the right place. More details on this can be found on the MOVE-IN DAY section of our website.

Finally, please review the MOVE-IN DAY section of our website to plan your travel.  The information on that page is essential for a smooth and successful Move-In Day.

Insurance Information

Part of college life includes taking suitable precautions with regard to personal belongings and being alert to suspicious activities within the residence halls. Regardless of these precautions, loss of personal property is sometimes inevitable. Our Student Handbook clearly states that Winthrop University is not responsible for personal property owned by students, faculty or staff.
